The observatory is one of a kind in the Highland Lakes and opens up the beauty of the night sky to stargazers of all ages. The state-of-the-art facility is equipped with a host of technological marvels that truly put stars in your eyes. The best evenings for stargazing with the naked eye are those without moonlight competing for attention with the stars; however, at Eagle Eye, technology puts moonlight in check. A variety of high-powered, advanced telescopes with computer-enhanced imaging and astronomical instruments — and astronomers who are well-versed in using them — bring the night sky to life. The observatory’s roof opens up to the stars and the eagle eyes of the facility’s five telescopes. Guests can embark on a guided journey through the stars at regularly scheduled astronomy sessions. They can also bring their own telescopes to set up on one of the 31 pads available just outside the observatory. Reservations are required for the guided astronomy sessions.
